20948, rotor differences between gs and gsx?
Posted by siueclipse, Nov-06-03 04:44 PM
Are the rotors any different from a GS compared to a GSX? Ive found some rotors for a good price, but it says they are for a GSX. I can't imagine what could be different.
Thanx

GSX are way larger. In order to use them you must also have the GSX calipers/caliper brackets/brake pads.

RS/GS/GST = 10" rotors up front w/ single piston calipers
GSX = 10 3/4" rotors w/ dual piston calipers

will the GSX dual piston calipers and rotors fit in 15 inch rims? :shrug

hmmm...
10" rotors fit under 14's (stock RS rims and calipers)
13" rotors fit under 17's (BAER big brake kit)
4" diff between rotor and rim?
prolly depends a bit on the caliper shape, but you'd think a 10.75" (GSX) rotor would only need a 14.75" rim

I haven't actually tried putting a 14" wheel over a GSX brake upgrade, but I strongly doubt it would fit. You can't fit your pinky between the wheel and caliper using 16" wheels.
Anyways, do you really want 195/70 rubber trying to stop the car? :o

ya gsx calipers an rotors definately won't fit under 14's but he was askin about 15's.. i'm kinda curious since as i stated about, the stock RS/GS/GST 10" rotors and calipers fit under a 14" rim. the GSX rotor is only 10.75". with only a .75" increase in rotor diameter one would think that a 1" increase in rim diameter would be adequate and that they'd fit under a 15" rim...
with a BAER brake kit you upgrade to a 13" rotor (increase of 3" over stock RS/GS/GST rotor) and it only requires a 14" rim (again an inrease of 3" over 14" stock rims). only way to be sure would be to actually try it though..
